DOTT / Sam & Max

[Redhairedguy]

I got the two of these on one disc off ebay, but when i went to use with my ScummVM, it can't find it!

I'm running Scumm off my mac, and I've already installed Monkey Island 3 and Full Throttle with no problem.

On the disc it only shows two .exe files. Sam & Max and Day of the Tentacle nothing else.

Anyone know why this so?

Thanks.

EDIT: I ran the both on my PC without SCUMM and it works perfectly... So unless it's a newly updated version that works on XP... I don't know. Me still confused!

Er, it seems you're talking about this pack:

But then, from what you're saying, it seems that both games are compressed into self-extracting exe files. I don't think that Lucasarts would pack their games in such files. Are you sure you got an original disk and not some homebrew collection?

[Redhairedguy]

that's the pack alright.

The disc seems to be legit, but then again, could just be a good labelling job.

do you reckon it's a no show then?

Are there only those two executable files in the disk? No other file or folder? If there's only those two, I really think this is a copied disk, but then again, I could be wrong. Was it boxed? Check underneath the CD: is it silver (original) or golden/green (copy)?

Son of a....

It's golden/green...

I got jipped...

Alright... thanks for your help mate

The copy I have of that compilation includes the following files in the discs root folder:

DOTT (folder)
SAMNMAX (folder)
AUTORUN.INI
BOOTMKR.EXE
DOTT.BAT
DOTTSAM.EXE
GRIM.TXT
GRIMOVIE.EXE
README.TXT
SAM.BAT

In case anyone's wondering, the GRIMOVIE file is a trailer for Grim Fandango, and GRIM.TXT is just the system requirements needed to run GRIMOVIE.

In that case, there is no shadow of a doubt that I've been scammed. Thanks for your help gents!
